The Events for Members-Only Add On lets you restrict events by membership level in Events Manager, The Events Calendar, or Sugar Calendar. Non-members can’t see a restricted event’s details or register, book, RSVP, or buy tickets, and you can choose to hide restricted events from them entirely. It’s built for associations, clubs, communities, and anyone who runs live workshops or meetups as a member benefit.
This documentation starts with how to restrict an event and the Paid Memberships Pro content settings that control what non-members see. Then there’s a page for each events plugin that lists exactly what’s hidden or blocked for non-members, including calendar views, feeds, iCal downloads, and REST API data. Developers can find every filter the Add On offers on the Action and Filter Hooks page.
Works with the free Paid Memberships Pro plugin. No paid plan needed. Create a free account or log in to download it and read the documentation.
